Ingredients

  1. 4 abalone (fresh or defrosted)
  2. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  3. 2 eggs
  4. 1/4 cup milk
  5. 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
  6. 1 tablespoon horseradish
  7. 2 tablespoons ketchup
  8. Juice of 1 lime (for cocktail sauce and garnish)
  9. Fresh parsley (for garnish)
  10. Lime slices (for garnish)

Method

  1. Slice the abalone into 1/4 inch thick steaks, making sure to trim off any meat that is not white, as this part tends to be very tough. Place the steaks on a cutting board, and pound with a meat tenderizer until pliable.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, horseradish, and lime juice to make a cocktail sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Whisk eggs and milk together in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a large resealable plastic bag. Dip the abalone steaks in egg, then place in the bag with the crumbs and shake to coat.
  4. Fry coated abalone for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Place on a platter, and garnish with lime slices and parsley. Serve with the cocktail sauce for dipping.

Chef's Tip

Traditional crumbed abalone is all about texture and delicate ocean flavour. Tenderising the abalone keeps it soft and enjoyable to eat, while the crisp golden coating adds crunch and richness without overpowering the seafood. Fresh lime and cocktail sauce bring brightness and acidity that balance the savoury crumb perfectly, creating a classic seafood dish that feels both comforting and luxurious.
